This picture depicts a scene of a group of teenagers in the process of building a sandcastle. It could be the annual sandcastle building event held during the june holidays and it must have attracted a lot of students, as these activities help the students pass time. In the foreground , a group of six students are gathered around an area. It appears that they are building the base of a sandcastle and we can see people in the background doing the same. This event could be a friendly competition held by a school with teachers as the judges. The winner would be the one who built the best sandcastle. There is an adult accompanying the group of students and she could be the teacher in charge of supervising the students in their building process. She seems to be giving advice to the students and dressed in a casual summer look. It must be interesting to teach out of school, and in a more relaxed way. She seems to have a stopwatch hanging down her neck it could mean that she is keeping track of the time the students have left until the competition is over. There could be other events beside the sandcastle building competition. Activities could be organized to foster relationship between teachers and students. Since the activities are held in big open areas, games involving a large area would be suitable to get the students to exercise and get involved in various sports activities. I am sure that these students would definitely enjoy themselves during the activities. These outdoor activities are a good change for the students instead of them consistently staying at home playing video games or watching television. Students would have more participation in school activities in the future, they would also become more active. In conclusion, I feel activities like sandcastle building competition held during school holidays is a joyous and meaning full event held for the students.
